Birthday greasebox / jewelbox

Thanks Mads for the great idea http://lumberjocks.com/projects/41470 . It has taken me a long time to make this grease box, but it’s here. I don’t think this will get me in the “club” (it’s got no grease), but that’s ok, I did score with my darling wife when I gave her this box for her “25th” birthday. She is a quilter, that’s why I choose that text.

Again this is a piece of old pallet wood. So because of that, I have no clue what kind of wood this is.

The shells are a souvenir from our last vacation in Northern California. The kids and us always collect “stuff” that needs to come home.

That is a great idea!! Nice job. I was just firewooding some pallets today and ran into some fairly decent 14/4×14/4. I thought it would be a shame to burn it, but I didn’t want to run it througn any of my power tools. It will work for a project like these! :-)) thx for the idea.

Wauuu, yes you are a member of honor of the GBOC with no doubt.If there are something the club like then it is a great heart grease or not!You have this heart, and you even used pallet wood, I almost cry.Best thoughts to you my sweet friend,why do we only get pallets in cheap pine in my country.Mads

Mads, you are too much. But first of all thanks for letting me into the GBOC. I have been wanting to be part of that elite group for a long time. Maybe change the name to G(J)BOC?? Secondly, I think I am the lucky one to be married to my better half. And thirdly, don’t give me too much credit for using pallet wood, I am Dutch and we do not like to spend money on anything if we can half way help it.

August, follow the link to Mads tutorials, they are VERY good! Good luck with your pallet wood projects.

Thanks Dan, stuff we do here.

Topa, I do not like to do big projects. I can do most of the stuff with hand tools. And for larger projects the pallet wood is not stable enough either.

Dennis, you are SOOO right about Mads. He welcomed me with open arms. I just need to sit tight and wait for the official certificate.

Pb, most of my projects are relatively small too. I am always on high alert for salvagable wood. My natural inclination is to be a Roy Underhill Jr, but too many years of hard work takes a toll on the joints ;-(( so I have to use a jiointer instead of my jointer plane. (All puns intended, of course, as usual ;-)) )
